Just released – First image of Cameron Diaz and Colin Firth in Gambit via Metro UK

Michael Hoffman, the man who brought the world Soapdish is directing a new comedy based on the 1966 film Gambit. This update stars Oscar winner Colin Firth and proud Latina Cameron Diaz.

Penning the reboot are none other than habitual New Mexico film makers, Oscar winning writers/directors, brothers Joel and Ehthan Coen. Some of our favorite local actors are already working on booking roles in the remake. (break legs big fella plus! {wink})

The stars are stepping into leads originally filled by some big shoes, one by fellow Brit and legend Michael Caine and the other by fellow legend and New Mexico Res. Shirley MacLaine!

The film is currently in production in London and will be heading to New Mexico forthwith…cherrio!
